Two days later.
Shindai was in the laboratory, carrying out an experiment based on an idea he had yesterday.
Shindai's Magnet Release Bloodline Limit allowed him to manipulate magnetic fields to form electromagnetic fields, enabling him to control the positive and negative charges within them.
If a purely positive magnetic field and a purely negative magnetic field were to come into contact, would they simply attract each other?
Using his Magnet Release, Shindai created a positive magnetic field and a negative magnetic field. Both fields crackled with electrical currents, and as they drew closer, they indeed attracted each other and intersected.
However, the current at the point of intersection suddenly vanished, and a force erupted, violently pushing Shindai backward until his back slammed heavily against the wall.
"Hiss~"
Shindai felt as if his bones had fallen apart.
As more of the positive and negative magnetic fields intersected, the force of the explosion grew stronger, prompting Shindai to quickly dissipate both fields.
Although Shindai was in pain, he was also very excited.
"Tch, that's intense. Just a casual test and it already has this much power. If I can control it, couldn't this become a powerful ultimate move?"
Shindai understood why this had happened.
When the positive and negative magnetic fields attracted and contacted each other, the positive and negative charges entangled, cancelling each other out to reach an electrically neutral state.
The energy released during this process was what had pushed Shindai away.
Shindai tried again, attempting to master this power, but the Chakra consumption was simply too high.
After only a few attempts, Shindai was forced to stop due to insufficient Chakra.
Seeing the entire room in shambles, Shindai's mouth twitched.
"Oh no! Orochimaru is going to lecture me!"
It was about time. The two days Uzumaki Kushina had mentioned were up. If things went smoothly, they should have already figured out a way to break that double seal.
Shindai ran off directly to Minato Namikaze's house.
"Big Sister Kushina, Lord Minato, how is it? Did it go smoothly?"
At this moment, Minato Namikaze was wearing an apron, humming a tune while cooking, and seemed to be in a very good mood.
Meanwhile, Uzumaki Kushina was sitting on the sofa, watching TV.
Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "We've already figured out the method to break it."
The reason Minato Namikaze was so happy was that by breaking the double seal, he could finally enjoy some quality time alone with Uzumaki Kushina.
Shindai asked excitedly, "Then what's the method? Teach me quickly!"
Uzumaki Kushina took out a scroll and tossed it to Shindai. "The method is inside. Once you understand the principles, breaking it is quite simple. This double seal is from a long time ago. Although it looks complex, it's not difficult to undo. Minato and I successfully broke it this morning."
Looking at the scroll in his hand, Shindai beamed. He could finally go and confirm that 'treasure'!
Minato Namikaze asked curiously, "By the way, Shindai, are you planning to go to Kannabi Bridge to break that seal? It's been sealed for so long, there's no need to break it, right?"
Shindai put away the scroll and bluffed, "I've been quite interested in Sealing Techniques lately, so I want to use that double seal to practice. So, Lord Minato, I'm going to be away for a few days. You agree, right?"
Minato Namikaze replied, "I agree, but… won't there be any danger? Since they used a double seal, it's possible that something very dangerous is sealed inside."
Shindai puffed out his chest and said, "Lord Minato, you should be confident in my strength. If there's any danger, I'll just run away. So, could you please give me a pass to leave the Village?"
"Alright."
Minato Namikaze wrote a pass for Shindai to leave the Village.
Uzumaki Kushina frowned and said, "Huh? Something's not right. Haven't you always been uninterested in Sealing Techniques? Why are you suddenly interested? Even if you were, you should start from the basics and figure out how to break it yourself instead of asking us for the method directly?"
"I suspect… you're not interested in the seal, but in what's inside, right? That's why you asked me for help to break it. Do you know what's sealed in that double seal?"
Having already obtained the Village exit pass and the scroll to break the seal, Shindai said dismissively, "I'm just interested. I'm going to find Pakura now, bye!"
Uzumaki Kushina 'tsk'ed in annoyance. "This brat, he really acts all sycophantic when he needs something, and then is so dismissive once he's done."
Minato Namikaze smiled gently. "It's alright. I have faith in Shindai's strength, so let him be. Kushina, come try the miso soup I made, how about it?"
"Okay~"
Uzumaki Kushina's face immediately lit up with joy, and she ran to Minato Namikaze's side, acting lovey-dovey.
After going home and packing, Shindai left the house and found Pakura, who was working as a store manager.
"Pakura, I'm leaving Konoha for a few days. Oh, hey, Kabuto, you're here too~"
Yakushi Kabuto, who was putting products on the shelves, greeted Shindai, "Hello, Big Brother Shindai!"
Pakura urged Shindai, "I understand. Be careful, and don't do anything reckless."
"I know! Bye."
Holding the Village exit pass given to him by Minato Namikaze, Shindai successfully left Konoha Village.
Two more days passed.
Shindai was already very close to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Grass. He estimated that it would only take another day or so of travel to reach his destination.
Meanwhile, in Konoha.
Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina had spent two quite wonderful days together.
Minato Namikaze still had three days of vacation left, as he had taken seven days off.
With Hiruzen Sarutobi there, Minato Namikaze didn't have to worry at all. If he weren't embarrassed, Minato Namikaze would have wanted to take a month off.
While Minato Namikaze was thinking about how to spend this wonderful day with Uzumaki Kushina, the door was knocked.
Minato Namikaze opened the door and saw someone unexpected.
Uchiha Fugaku.
Uchiha Fugaku said apologetically, "Sorry to disturb the Fourth Hokage's vacation. I'd like to have a chat with you, if it's convenient?"
Minato Namikaze instantly realized what Uchiha Fugaku wanted to talk about. A bright smile appeared on his face. "Of course it's convenient, please come in."
The understanding Uzumaki Kushina also knew very well that since Uchiha Fugaku had come to see Minato Namikaze alone today, it must be to discuss something very important.
So, after pouring tea for Uchiha Fugaku and Minato Namikaze, Uzumaki Kushina went to the craft shop to find Pakura.
After taking a sip of tea, Uchiha Fugaku said to Minato Namikaze, "Fourth Hokage, I have seriously considered what you said to me the other day. I hope to work together with you to improve the relationship between the Uchiha and the Village."
Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "If Clan Leader Fugaku is willing, I will naturally do my utmost."
